ooopps

it'll be back on the road by the end of the week, we'll sort it no probs ste

the guy on the R1 was more interested in if you had heard his new exhaust system haha

fair play to those who stopped tho, not a bad bunch these bikers

[BoltonSte]

I forgot about that.

Did you hear me behind you? (he had a single cannon on the R1)

no, but I spotted you in my mirrors just before the overtake.

Oh but then I suppose those are quite loud (pointing at my arrows)

At which point, he sulked a bit and said his goodbyes.

just taking a look at the bike, the entire rearset (brake side) is completely bent, also just noticed that there was hardly any oil in it, even tho it was just below full when i set off i remember checking it

bring it round

[BoltonSte]

Open the airbox for oil, it's probably all in there.

You may have noticed my pulling alongside during the ride home?

I was checking for smoke. It looked like you were smoking a bit (as expected after laying it down) but not excessively at all so I didn't bother worrying you. You did the odd puff under hard accel on the way up, before the spill. But I figured that it was due to running warm by then and just your breather.

Is it above minimum?

You weren't doing it in the yard were you? Somewhere flat?

Probably reet, but I'll bring round some oil when I come this weekend (I can't use it in the trumpet but good for the SV)

its not that bad in the back, when its put on rear paddock stand it evens it out

ive already topped it up, will the oil in the airbox (if thats where its gone) drain back through?, iv heard that too much oil is as bad as not enough

Some will, but you can mop it up anyway.

I'll bob in on the way back from hospital tonight if you want?

Easier than going through it on here.
